Cassidy went back to her room, completely cried out. She wanted more tears to come, feeling that she had more sadness to release, but they would not come. Feeling somewhat defeated, she changed into her favorite, most comfortable pair of jeans, a purple t-shirt, and draped herself in her robes, pulling her hood up over her head, which shadowed her face.
She realized that she had not seen Tim in a very long time. When she went to the common room on her way to the feast, she realized why. Tim was curled upon the couch with another girl, a seventh year like him, being all cuddly. Cassidy couldn't believe it, but then again, she and Tim had never had an official title.
Despite it all, she still felt her heart breaking. She didn't understand why, it made no sense, or maybe it did. She had always cared so deeply for him, and she had thought he had felt the same.
"Cassidy..." Tim realized, suprised to see her standing there. She was suprised he would recognize her, since her hood was up.
"Have a good holiday," she said softly. She then remembered that Tim was a seventh year. "Good luck on your ventures. I know you'll go far..."
She trailed off, and walked away briskly, out the porthole, and down the seven floors to the Great Hall. Many students had gathered in the Hall already for the last feast before holiday. Cassidy took her seat at the Gryffindor table. So many people celebrated the end of the year around her, but she felt like she was dying inside. After all she had accomplished this year, growing in magical ability, something her parents never thought would happen. She and Andrew had begun to get along again...she had made friends...she was on the Gryffindor Quiddich team...all these things would mean nothing when she returned to Japan.

Andrew smiled at Berii in the common room, and noticed Cassidy speaking to Tim. His heart sank. He knew how sad she was to see Tim like this. She kept her face though, something she was incredibly good at. After she left the room, Andre turned to Berii once more.
"Want to head down to the feast?" he asked her.
